How long before I can expect results?
Typical results at 8-10 weeks. Managing age related weight is a constant battle, and Estroven Weight Management can help, so it's important to stick with it.

Can I take more than the recommended dose?
No. Estroven Weight Management should be taken as directed.

Is it safe to combine my with my prescription meds?
Estroven recommends speaking with your health care professional to see if taking Estroven Weight Management with other medications is appropriate for your individual situation.

Is it safe to take with other Estroven products?
Estroven products are developed to be used individually to address hot flashes and night sweats as well as other menopausal symptoms. However, Estroven recommends speaking with your healthcare professional to see if taking multiple Estroven products is appropriate for your individual situation.

Can men take this product?
Not a lot is known about the effects of some of the ingredients in Estroven Weight Management on men. They recommend speaking with your healthcare professional.

Does it contain caffeine?
No, Estroven Weight Management does not contain caffeine or any stimulants.

Does it contain Estrogens?
No, Estroven Weight Management does not contain synthetic estrogen. Soy Isoflavones interact with some of the same receptors as estrogen to help address your hormonal imbalance, but will not increase hormone levels.

Will this help with weight loss?
Estroven Weight Management is not a weight loss and/or diet product. Instead, it is a dietary supplement designed specifically to help individuals with weight management. Everyone has a different lifestyle, different diet, and different activity level. Your results will vary based on these factors.

How does it work?
Estroven Weight Management allows you to manage your weight by addressing serotonin levels. Research shows that serotonin, a key compound in the body, declines with age, especially following menopause with declining estrogen. This very important compound assists in appetite regulation. Low levels can lead to feelings of hunger, a less efficient metabolism, and moodiness. Estroven Weight Management contains a proprietary ingredient that is clinically shown to significantly increase serotonin levels.

Are the active ingredients natural?
Estroven Weight Management has been developed with ingredients from nature to provide safe, multi-symptom relief with demonstrated efficacy.

What is the best time to take Estroven Weight Management?
Estroven Weight Management should be taken twice a day: take 1 capsule in the morning, right before breakfast and 1 capsule in the evening right before dinner. Take with 8-10 oz of water. Daily use, for a minimum of 60 days, is important for best results.

How is Estroven Weight Management different from non-menopausal weight management products?
Estroven Weight Management is different from other non-menopausal weight management products because it is specifically formulated to address the effects associated with the decline of estrogen. Managing weight is more challenging for many perimenopausal and menopausal women as eating health alone isn't enough to help these women address their rapidly changing bodies. Estroven understands these women and their issues, as well as their need for products containing natural ingredients that have a relatively long safety profile history with strong studies supporting their ability to relieve the effects of menopause.

What does menopause mean? Menopause means something different to each woman, but there are certain key elements that all share.

Your reproductive life cycleThink of your life in phases: you start with infancy, move onto childhood, and then reach puberty. At this point, your hormones start raging, your body feels like it doesn't belong to you, and your moods may abruptly swing from silly to dejected. So years later, if you're experiencing menopausal symptoms, it may certainly seem like you've been there before! However, the years surrounding menopause can be a time to define your own experiences and make positive choices about healthcare, relationships, and your own potential.

The myths about menopauseThe biggest stumbling block for most women is getting past the old myths about what perimenopause (the years before the event) and menopause mean.

Reaching the first signs or symptoms of menopause does not mean that your life as you know it has ended! Some women have easy transitions. Others have a rough time for several years, experiencing bothersome symptoms that come and go. If you feel like your life is in turmoil, you're not alone. In fact, there's a lot you can do to minimize the effects of the symptoms you may be experiencing.

In the prime of lifeIn your 40s, 50s, or 60s, you’ve lived long enough to have the experiences and knowledge to mentor others. But you're also free to let others know exactly who you are as a person, rather than being defined by society's roles for you.

Studies of women who dreaded menopause in their 20s and 30s show that their attitude towards it improved the older they got. And after their final menstrual period, most women regarded menopause as primarily positive. You may fear the unknown, but once you've experienced the event, you're an expert!

One of the best starting places for reaching your prime is to take proactive steps towards improving your health right now, so you can start on the road to successful aging. There are many paths along this journey through menopause, but you get to choose which one path you take! As with everything in life, it's always best to begin with the basics and add as you need to. For example, you can make the choice to start with Estroven —an herbal menopause remedy for menopause symptom relief — and then see where that leads. And the decisions you make now about your health and wellness may change as time goes on.

What is menopause? (And what is perimenopause?)Menopause occurs because of the winding-down of the female cycle, as the hormonal system moves from its reproductive function to "maintenance" for the rest of your life. The perimenopause (the months and sometimes years before menopause occurs) and the postmenopause afterward bring on many changes in your body, mind, and emotions. In this section, you'll learn about:

The female hormonal system

Before menopause

Natural or induced menopause

Hormone shift at menopause

After menopause

The female hormonal systemEven before you reached puberty, your body began to produce hormones, or chemical messengers that travel through the bloodstream. The pituitary gland in the brain produces FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) during the first half of your cycle, and LH (luteinizing hormone) during the second half.

Each month, FSH stimulates the follicles in the ovaries, which contain eggs, to begin secreting estrogen into your bloodstream. For the next two weeks, the follicles grow, and one becomes mature enough to ovulate (release an egg). Once the follicle is mature, the pituitary gland cuts back on its production of FSH and produces a surge of LH, which causes the follicle to break open so that the egg can be released.

During the next two weeks, the empty follicle produces more estrogen, as well as progesterone, the other hormone essential to reproduction. Progesterone builds up the lining of the uterus into thicker and thicker layers, as a possible home for an implanted egg that might develop into a fetus.

If the egg is fertilized, it implants and begins to divide and grow. But most months, the unfertilized egg simply continues its journey through the bloodstream, the levels of estrogen and progesterone drop, and the lining of the uterus sloughs off in a menstrual period.

PerimenopauseWhen you reach your early-to-mid forties, this cycle begins to slow down, and the hormonal system isn't as regular as it used to be. Perimenopause ("peri" means "time before") is a time when you can begin to learn all you can about your changing body and mind.

You may begin to experience the following symptoms of menopause:

Your periods may become irregular, or you may find that it's harder to get pregnant.

You may have your first hot flashes, as your hormonal system pumps harder in an attempt to keep stimulating the dwindling supply of eggs in your ovaries.

You may have emotional symptoms, like moodiness or depression.

You may experience a drop in energy and an increase in tiredness.

Natural or induced menopauseMenopause occurs when there are very few eggs left to be fertilized, and the output of estrogen and progesterone is so small that the eggs are not stimulated to ovulate. For most women, this happens in their early 50s.

For other women, some external event brings on menopause:

Bilateral oophorectomy (removal of both ovaries) puts the body into menopause immediately, because there are no ovaries to produce estrogen and progesterone. A partial oophorectomy has a less severe impact on the body because only one ovary is removed.

Hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) speeds up menopause by approximately 2-3 years.

Chemotherapy for cancer or pelvic radiation may damage the ovaries so they can no longer produce hormones. However, some younger women who are treated for cancer may begin to menstruate and ovulate again.

Hormone shift at menopauseDuring ovulation, the pituitary gland pumps out a high amount of FSH to prepare the release of an egg from the ovaries. This high level of FSH signals the body to increase its production of estrogen to complete ovulation. Once ovulation has occurred, the production of FSH decreases until the start of the next reproductive cycle (see Fig. 1). For menopausal women, however, the body does not produce enough estrogen to complete ovulation, so FSH levels remain high (see Fig. 2).

Post MenopauseWhen you have not had a period for 12 consecutive months, you have gone through menopause. After menopause, you no longer need to be concerned about birth control or having monthly periods. This is a milestone for every woman, and with all its inconvenience, it definitely has a plus side. It means you have passed through "the change", and are now ready to meet the challenges of the next half of your life - hopefully with more self-awareness and self-confidence than you had when you were younger!

It's common for women to spend decades taking care of everything and everyone but themselves - a husband, a boss, children, pets, a home - but this is a time for you to make a conscious choice to discover what it is you really want out of life. This is your moment to re-establish your principles, your priorities, and your passions.

Taking careThere's a lot you can do to take charge of the way you feel during menopause when you have the right information. So keep an open mind, and start with the simplest and most natural tactics to deal with the symptoms you're experiencing.

A lot of women don't take great care of themselves during the years when they're busy chasing kids around the house or working hard at a job. So menopause can be a good time to start:

Eating a balanced diet of protein, carbohydrates, plenty of fiber, and just a little bit of fat. As we get older, the digestive system is not as efficient, so eating a nutritious, well-balanced diet can keep your body weight stable, and also help you reduce some menopausal symptoms.

Getting out and moving at least three times a week for an hour. If you can, do some exercise — even walking — every single day. Exercise helps keep excess weight off, keeps the body working efficiently, and is one of the best ways to keep "the blues" at bay. Learn more about how menopause may affect your weight.

Take stress out of your life! Just say no to more obligations than you can handle, and don't cope with problems by using alcohol, caffeine, or cigarettes, which are all bad for your physical and mental health.

Menopause supplements provide benefitsAs the natural estrogen in your body declines, it can be helpful to take supplements that provide some of the same benefits as estrogen. Estroven is a dietary supplement made with isoflavones (from soy products or other herbs) and/or black cohosh and herbs that help reduce the symptoms associated with menopause, helps support your mood, and make you feel like yourself again.

What about medication?Since menopause is not a disease but a phase of life, you need to be clear about your own attitude toward menopause in order to decide how you want to handle it. Estroven can be your first choice to handling your menopausal symptoms, since using an herbal remedy for menopause is a logical way to start. But if you're still having problems, there are other options, such as replacement hormones (hormone replacement therapy), antidepressants, and bone-strengthening medications. Psychotherapy, counseling, support groups, etc. can be effective ways to manage menopause. Talk with your healthcare provider to discuss the best action plan for you.

Eating WellEveryone knows that eating right is a key factor in maintaining lifelong health, and this is particularly true at menopause. At this time of life, more than ever, you need a balanced diet that focuses on:

Fruits and vegetables

Whole grains and legumes

Lean meats, fish, and poultry

Less fat and more low-fat products

Here’s a tip for reducing your menopausal symptoms: cut back on spicy foods and reduce consumption of alcohol and caffeine, all of which can bring on hot flashes!

Getting physicalDid you know that hot flashes and night sweats are less common in physically active women? Physical exercise has also been shown to enhance mood and promote daytime energy and restful nights. In fact, being fit not only decreases the long-term risks of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and obesity, it also plays a role in how symptoms of hormonal change affect you.

In addition to a healthy diet, a successful fitness program should include aerobic activities for your heart, bones, and general fitness; resistance training for your muscle and bone strength; and stretching for your flexibility and to decrease your risk of injury.

Start with a planIf you haven't exercised in a long time (or ever), you should see your healthcare provider first to get a clean bill of health, and maybe even some personalized suggestions on the best way to get started.

Put exercise on your calendar – once a day, every day.Write yourself a contract, making exercise a daily priority, and post it on your refrigerator. Signing your name may help you to live up to your word.

Get someone to exercise with you. A friend or spouse along for the ride means you can talk while you walk. If you miss a few days because of travel or illness, get right back on track again.

If you have not been exercising and feel out of shape, start slowly. Begin by taking 5- to 15-minute walks at a comfortable pace three times a week, and gradually increase your distance and pace, keeping in mind the goals mentioned above.

Types of dedicated exercise and how they helpAerobic exercise raises your pulse and gets you breathing harder. Brisk walking, swimming, aerobic dancing, bicycling, and treadmill or outdoor running are all effective means of aerobic exercise. Choose the most enjoyable activity that fits your schedule.

Strength training involves free weights or exercise machines to strengthen individual muscles. Do a series of exercises that focus on your arms, shoulders, and torso two to three times a week. If you haven't done this kind of exercise before, seek instruction from your healthcare provider, a physical therapist, or a trainer.

Flexibility exercises should also be done two or three times each week. They can best be done after aerobic exercise. Flexibility exercises are most effective if the stretch is done slowly and held for 20 to 30 seconds. Your healthcare provider, a physical therapist, or a trainer can suggest appropriate exercises.

Staying awareWith our hormones demanding so much of our attention, it may be hard to focus on other aspects of our physical health. But there are other important areas that we need to monitor.

In addition to seeing your healthcare provider regularly for pelvic exams and pap smears, having your cholesterol and blood pressure checked, and performing monthly self-breast exams, be sure to have the following tests done:

Mammogram

Colonoscopy

Total body skin examination

Fasting plasma glucose

Glaucoma test

Bone density testing

Thyroid hormone test

The Number One choice among women and pharmacists.Estroven’s history of delivering safe and effective products has a clear result. Over the years, Estroven has become the #1 natural menopause supplement in the United States.** Nearly a million women choose Estroven for relief of their perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms, more than any other brand.

Since 2001, Estroven has been the most recommended supplement in the menopause category as determined by Pharmacy Times magazine. The 2011 OTC Pharmacists Recommendations award the highest marks to Estroven, including the OTC Master's logo. Over 398,000 U.S. pharmacists a month recommend Estroven. Estroven believes their commitment to quality is what keeps them at the forefront of the natural menopause supplement category.

Estroven SafetyEstroven™ has been on the market since late 1997, and all of its ingredients have been carefully chosen based on the best scientific information available. There are no known significant side effects associated with the recommended serving sizes of Estroven™.

Safety of Estroven's FormulaOver the years, with tens of millions of Estroven products sold, there have been very few consumer complaints, and none showing a causal connection between Estroven and any significant negative health event. This confidence in the Estroven™ suite of products, combined with the supporting science on the ingredients confirm our ability and commitment to provide safe products.

Every batch of Estroven produced undergoes extensive purity and potency testing. These tests are performed by qualified laboratories, which follow standards set by various scientific agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP), NSF, AOAC, and other standard-setting authorities. Estroven™ formulas are also tested for shelf-life stability to be sure that the products will be as effective when you buy them as they were when they left the plant.

Safety of Estroven's IngredientsThe two primary ingredients in our products — isoflavones and black cohosh — have long and safe histories of use. A well-known and well-reputed vendor, Archer Daniels Midland Company, supplies the soy isoflavones used in our formula.

There has been much safety research done on black cohosh. It is important to note that the kind of black cohosh used in Estroven™ products is cimicifuga racemosa, the actual North American herb, rather than the Asian variety, which may not have the same degree of purity or effectiveness.

Other ingredients used in Estroven™ include vitamins and minerals, all of which fall below the Safe Upper Limits as defined by the federal government, as well as various other herbs, which have a similar safety profile to isoflavones and black cohosh.

Using Estroven with Synthetic HormonesPlease consult your healthcare professional before taking Estroven products with HRT.

Using Estroven with Other Prescription MedicinesAlthough there are no known significant side effects associated with the recommended use of Estroven™ with prescription medications, your medical history plays an important role in the effect that supplements have on your body. Please contact your healthcare professional before using Estroven™ with other prescription medicines.

Potential Allergens in the Estroven FormulaEstroven™ does not contain preservatives, yeast, wheat, gluten, or lactose. Estroven™ does contain soy, and a small percentage (about 3%) of the population is allergic to soy. Please consult your healthcare professional before taking Estroven™ if you have any known allergies.

As with any dietary supplement, please consult your healthcare professional before taking Estroven™.
